⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Still zero action taken by Arne Slot. How do you assess this situation of Liverpool?  

At least net spend isn't negative.    Jokes aside, he really needs to make his transfer targets clear and send them to the board. If he already has then what are the board waiting for?

Liverpool NEEDS transfers this summer. This is obvious. They just can't stay in a PL title race anymore. We saw it clearly last season. The thing they need is not only a squad depth but also a stronger lineup to start matches.

Chelsea want to sell Romelu Lukaku permanently joining Napoli but for doing so Victor Osimhen must be sold 1st
Lukaku has already accepted a salary cut for joining Napoli.

Romelu Lukaku would've joined Napoli before now if the Italian club had agreed to cut down their release clause on Victor Osimhen. Chelsea are willing to allow Lukaku Join Napoli on permanent deal but are negotiating for a deal that'll see Victor Osimhen join them but the problem is that they've refused to meet the price Napoli is requesting. Napoli's management is trying to be greedy in their offer if you ask me and if nothing is done to let the Lukaku and Osimhen deal pull through, they might be forced to keep the Nigeria international

I think if Conte had a choice, the former Juventus and Inter Milan manager would certainly choose Osimhen over Lukaku, not the other way around. Why Conte is reported to want Lukaku so much, because he knows that Osimhen will eventually leave, that sounds more reasonable. PSG, Chelsea, Al Ahli, and then Arsenal are a number of clubs who want the services of the Nigerian international player, but there is no competition because they are all reluctant to pay Osimhen release clause which is too expensive. Al Ahli are willing to pay the fee, but Osimhen is not interested in leaving Europe.

I think if Conte really want Osimhen as it stands now he may try every possible means to keep him this season especially since clubs in Europe are reluctant to pay their asking fee but we will see it when the transfer windows ends if he will opt to remain in Napoli when no club are able to meet his asking price and possibly Chelsea find an alternative  for Lukaku also.

A player of Osimhen's class on loan and in exchange for Lukaku? Ah I think he is getting closer to PSG but PSG will get closer to Nico Williams the news.
I know Osimhen's clause is quite big so it's hard for other clubs who will sign him imagine 130M while Osimhen's performance was not so impressive even better when he was still under Spalletti.
Suppose if Osimhen is loaned to Chelsea and there he performs better then maybe Chelsea will pay the clause, they usually pay expensive players.

PSG confirmed by Fabrizio Romano has brought in Joao Neves at a price of € 60m Fixed fee plus adds on other.
The character playing Osimhsn is better if playing in the Premier League because the statistics are circulating that Osimhen is better than Julian Alvarez.
If Napoli seriously release Osimhen, of course it can happen easily, but until now they have not decided. If Osimhen and Napoli agreed to release the Nigerian player will be a challenger for other sharp attackers such as Julian Alvarez in Manchester City.

Victor Osimhen is an important player so his clause release by Napoli to any club will surely undergo a thorough agreement between the both teams so even if Chelsea would like Lukaku to stay permanently at Napoli, it is not a guarantee that Victor Osimhen will just come over to Chelsea without concrete financial terms. Napoli is not greedy and they are not requesting for too much either because this is basically a world class player we are talking about here so if Chelsea cannot meet up with the demand of Napoli they should forget about Osimhen and let the Nigerian super star remain in Napoli until the expiry of his contract at Napoli.

Napoli comes infront when we talk about clubs that have fallen from their glory days and in deep struggling. It have never been a really good run for the club. Napoli new headcoach, Antonio Conte have taken over Napoli and there's quite alot to put in place in Napoli. He has to make good use of the available players and probably add more potentials to equipped the uniqueness of his reputation and also building formidable squad.

Victor Osimhen is promising and key part for the project of Antonio Conte. He's available to spread his positive impact across the formation of the club. This new season is almost up and the team's supporters expects more from Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, because they're both important for the continous existence of the club.

[KTChampions]

The main problem currently that is making it difficult for Napoli to let go of Osimhen is that the price set by them is very high and for players who have only shown their best performance in the last 4 seasons of course that price doesn't make sense

Talking about Osimhen’s price of course it is a little bit high, it’s not for his performance or anything but his age is the reason why most clubs think the price is high. If you look at the market nowadays you will see a lot of players who lack experience and are still being sold for higher prices of 100m so with Osimhen experience and stats he should be worth that much if only he is a bit younger, he has proven himself multiple seasons that he is a striker that can give you goals regardless of the team performance.

Hmm... what's wrong with his age? He'll only be 26 in December. I'd say he's still far from his peak and has at least 5 seasons ahead of him where he can play at his best and even improve. Remember, for comparison, that Zidane moved to Real Madrid at the age of 29 for a then-record fee. Considering that medicine has made many strides forward since then, we can say that Osimhen has half of his great career ahead of him.

[Abu-Naim]

What you said, it's clear that Conte only wants Lukaku and from this it can be seen that Osimhen's position is no longer comfortable because Conte prefers Lukaku. Osimhen has also stated that he will leave in this transfer market and he is also waiting for an agreement to be reached between PSG and Napoli regarding his transfer. I think Napoli are ready to lose Osimhen, it's just that they are slow to sell him because the value of Osimhen's clause has decreased compared to the release clause in last season's transfer market.

Lukaku is Antonio Conte’s main target because of the Osimhen’s case that he wants to leave the team.

Conte can be comfortable with Osimhen if the team didn’t get Lukaku as he wants, his preference was because he knew the player wants to leave and the management has probably agreed to let him go, if not Osimhen is a good striker that will help Conte to achieve greatness in Napoli.

Even though Napoli will not be strengthened by Osimhen this season, I think they will also be strong because Conte is a coach full of experience in Serie A, of course he will find it easy to revive Napoli from downturn. If Osimhen leaves then Lukaku will be his replacement. For this reason, the cycle that has occurred for Napoli this season is of course very big because it is related to their goal machine.

The team is not bad to that extent of going down just because they lose one player which is even a striker. They won the league last season’s back and most of the players are still in the team, therefore, even if Osimhen leaves and they didn’t sign any player, they can still do well because Conte is a good coach that have experienced the Seria A.

Transfer News

After  positive feedback from Real Sociedad in the deal of Mikel Merino now  the EPL club Arsenal is now edging closer to the final agreement of the deal with the excess of the €30 million fee. However, the signing of Mikel Merino will give Arsenal a big boost. Today's match will also show very clearly what kind of players Arsenal lack.


While on the other hand Real Sociedad is also on the way of talks with Paris Saint Germain to sign Carlos Soler for Mikel Merino's replacement. Real Sociedad has started talks with PSG in advance to sign Spanish midfielder Carlos Soler, that is, if Arsenal completes the deal with Mikel Merino, then Real Sociedad will rush to sign Soler.

It looks like Slot will try to create a situation where he will be confident in the choices made by Klopp before even though if you look at the whole of course this is full of risks when they are not looking for a single player to bring in to fill the gap that was empty last season.

Currently they only call up 2 of their academy players namely Bobby Clark and Jaros who are tried in the senior team which I think this is still very risky for Slot.
But the transfer is still continuing and we still have to continue to wait until the transfer is completely closed because sometimes there are always unexpected and there could be a show given by Liverpool later towards the end of the transfer before it closes because indeed if this is forced without spending a penny I think it could be fatal for Liverpool.

Apparently Chelsea bosses had an extra 20 million euros and decided to spend it somehow, but I didn't think Chelsea had 5 goalkeepers! The purchase of Jorgensen can still be justified somehow, only if Kepa doesn't want to play for Chelsea anymore and Petrovic is injured, then maybe the transfer of Jorgensen makes sense as a purchase of a promising goalkeeper to replace the outgoing Kepa.
In general, we are waiting for more transfer news from Chelsea, because I think that they will not stop on Jorgensen and their main goal is Osimhen.

Todd Boehly is an irresponsible owner as he doesn't know how to manage a football club. It might be too soon for some of you to agree with me but from the way he has been managing Chelsea football club, it is looking as if he has nothing good to offer as everything he does just goes wrongly. In just the last two years Chelsea have signed 3 goalkeepers and this is the total in just 5 years, 6 goalkeepers. Goalkeepers shouldn't be something that a club should be changing every season. The coach has to make one goal keeper the main one and then have a backup and focus on winning games. Spending this amount of money on goalkeeper isn't good spending.

It is so suprising and I doubt if Slot would be going into this upcoming season with a big club like Liverpool FC, and as new manager, without further equiping the team with new signings, that's a very big risk and I think something is wrong somewhere. A lot of Liverpool fans I know of are really worried about the whole situation, sometime ago a friend of mine who supports Liverpool told me during a conversation that he feels his club has gone broke and the board is hiding it, he further said that his reason for saying that is because several players have ended their loan tenure and about two senior players have been released due to contract expiration but then the club has failed to sign replacements for them, and that what may be the reason if not lack of transfer funds? Well he might be wrong and that statement might be due to his frustration, but I believe fans have every right to be worried cause, their tough rivals are signing quality players yet Slot a newly introduced manager in the Premier league is still comfortable without new signings, well let's see the magic he wants to perform, it might be that he's really comfortable with the players Jurgen Klopp left him or maybe they could start bringing new players from next month since they still have more weeks left until the transfer window closes.

However, the signing of Mikel Merino will give Arsenal a big boost. Today's match will also show very clearly what kind of players Arsenal lack.

Real Sociedad's Mikel Merino is an ideal option for Arsenal. With Emile Smith Rowe leaving, Arsenal have reason to step up negotiations for this deal. Merino While perhaps not the most inspirational player, the Merino midfielder is tall, strong, technically sound, and capable of taking on multiple roles in midfield. He is very strong in hand-to-hand combat and is also very good in the air. And a move to the Emirates would be a huge step forward in Merino's career at the age of 28.

While on the other hand Real Sociedad is also on the way of talks with Paris Saint Germain to sign Carlos Soler for Mikel Merino's replacement. Real Sociedad has started talks with PSG in advance to sign Spanish midfielder Carlos Soler, that is, if Arsenal completes the deal with Mikel Merino, then Real Sociedad will rush to sign Soler.

What did you think?

PSG's waste players are good products of other clubs. Carlos Soler is not appreciated by the French giant because they have too many stars. He should go to Real Sociedad to save his career. Carlos Soler is highly regarded for his ability to recover the ball and play aggressively. Therefore, Soler will return to the football environment in La Liga.

Arne Slot is a new coach so it is impossible for him not to bring in new players I'm sure he already has plans or has even sent offers to some players while an agreement has not been reached. Yesterday Fabrizio Romano posted news about Rio Ngumoha the young player from Chelsea the 16-year-old has been linked with Liverpool, it seems Liverpool are targeting young players and avoid expensive players or Liverpool return to their old ways of prioritizing investment in players?

We also heard rumors regarding Mohamed Salah wanting to move to the Saudi Pro League if this news is true then Liverpool must prepare a replacement and also a reserve player and Liverpool could also use the release fee to bring in new players. Anyway, there are still many possibilities that will happen before the transfer window closes.

fake news always accompanies all existing rumors, especially this is a long-standing rumor. And there are parties who take advantage of this to gain profits. What an irony.

Therefore, do not easily believe rumors on social media because they are not completely valid, we must be good at filtering information that is truly reliable rather than being fooled by hoaxes, we just wait for the negotiations between Chelsea and Napoli, we will see their final decision in the near future if there is no movement, I think Napoli and Chelsea are firm with the players they have, Napoli is also still retaining Oshimen.

Indeed. Because fake news moves and spreads very quickly and we also cannot stop the spread of the news, then we ourselves are required to filter the various material and news intake that we get to provide the information to others. And then, waiting for official news from a trusted source is one way, by cross-checking from various other supporting media.

Real Sociedad's Mikel Merino is an ideal option for Arsenal. With Emile Smith Rowe leaving, Arsenal have reason to step up negotiations for this deal. Merino While perhaps not the most inspirational player, the Merino midfielder is tall, strong, technically sound, and capable of taking on multiple roles in midfield. He is very strong in hand-to-hand combat and is also very good in the air. And a move to the Emirates would be a huge step forward in Merino's career at the age of 28.

Yes, we just have to wait a few days regarding the closing of the agreement with the club. €30m is a pretty good value for Merino with his position as a Central Midfield, and his ability can also be a Defensive Midfield. Because originally, Arsenal currently does not have a central midfielder. So this will really boost the lineup. Most likely to be paired with their Arsenal Defensive Midfield, Declan Rice.

There's nothing to feel worry here, and we are still a month away from the end of summer transfer season.

At least net spend isn't negative.    Jokes aside, he really needs to make his transfer targets clear and send them to the board. If he already has then what are the board waiting for?

I hope so, but it taks too long for liverpool to complete a single transaction. Does liverpool has a transfer shortlist? Im thinking they don't have it.

Liverpool NEEDS transfers this summer. This is obvious. They just can't stay in a PL title race anymore. We saw it clearly last season. The thing they need is not only a squad depth but also a stronger lineup to start matches.

It's hard to predict what's Arne's plan regarding the team, but let's say we will be make our first signing probably when the time is getting closer to the end of transfer season. Klopp's legacy was strong enough, but i think Arne will still stick with the same squad in the upcoming season. Arne apparently doesn't need a new signing for his squad.

Who has read this news?
I read this from the social media handle of Supersport that Klopp is bowing out of football coaching career. Who has thought it will end like this?
Nothing is heartbreaking to me than reading this. I thought he was gonna have a year rest and take up a job again, even if a national team. I pray Liverpool should not miss him every weekend and what did Liverpool management do to him. I believe something personal is wrong with Jurgen Klopp. This is not about leaving the stage when the ovation is high.

[tottong]

Lastly, just as you rightfully pointed out, it's only clubs from Saudi Arabia that would want to spend so much money on him now, because am quite sure that top clubs in Europe wouldn't spend so much on a goalkeeper salary right now, so the best thing he should do to salvage his failing career is for him to reduce is wage demands, so that smaller clubs can afford him.

If he wants to get the salary he wants then going to the Saudi Arabian League is an option and only there he will get the salary he wants.
The top clubs in Europe will not want to pay him a big salary because maybe it is about De Gea's age.
I think if he wants to save his career he should decide to play in the Saudi Arabian league or accept an offer from a European club with a salary that suits the club's demands.

Several offers have been made by clubs and probably most of them are from Saudi Arabia, the latest news is that Genoa are also interested in signing him but may be constrained by the salary he is asking for and Genoa are also looking for a replacement for their first-choice goalkeeper who has been sold.

It seems that Jurgen Klopp has not confirmed about this, he still has a lot of time to think about his coaching career is still long and at his current age it is still not enough for him to retire, it is indeed tiring to be a manager, let alone coaching big clubs, he also spent a lot of time at Liverpool and has achieved many achievements but it is sad if he has to retire at the peak of his career. Even the England national team is also interested in him, I hope he only rests for a few years and when he is ready he can return to being a coach again.

There is nothing wrong with this and I am not surprised by this news because basically Jurgen Klopp wants to take a break from his job, isn't that the reason he left Liverpool and I think Jurgen Klopp has his own views on his life in the future, maybe he is tired of the hustle and bustle of the football world and wants to enjoy his old age in peace, no one knows about that.
And I'm sure there is nothing wrong with anything here, and it has nothing to do with Liverpool management for Jurgen Klopp's decision, this is a natural thing in someone's life.
